Distrigas of Massachusetts Corporation; Notice of Proposed 
Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

June 13, 1996.
    Take notice that on June 11, 1996, Distrigas of Massachusetts 
Corporation (DOMAC), tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, Second Revised Sheet No. 37, with a 
proposed effective date of July 1, 1996:
    DOMAC states that it is filing this revised tariff sheet to (1) 
modify the ethane content specification to allow for an ethane content 
not to exceed 12%, (2) reduce the allowable nitrogen content, (3) 
change the hydrogen sulfide specification and (4) remove the maximum 
methane limitation in Section 2.11 of the General Terms and Conditions 
of DOMAC's Tariff. Such changes will permit DOMAC to sell LNG to be 
acquired from sources other than Algeria, including Abu Dhabi Gas 
Liquefaction Company Ltd. (ADGAS). DOMAC has requested a waiver to 
permit a July 1 effective date and allow for a July 10, 1996 loading 
date of an LNG cargo which may be acquired from ADGAS.
    DOMAC states that the revisions to the quality specifications will 
not alter the interchangeability of vaporized LNG with pipeline gas and 
that LNG conforming to the revised specifications will remain 
consistent with the Operating Agreement entered into with Algonquin Gas 
Transmission Company and Commonwealth Gas Company. DOMAC notes that 
with additional sources of LNG, DOMAC will be better able to provide 
normal LNG service to its LNG liquid customers throughout the summer 
and will be in a position to supplement cargoes of LNG from Algeria 
during the winter heating season.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C., 20426, 
in accordance with Rules 385.211 and 385.214 of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure. All such motions or protests must be filed 
as provided in Section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations. 
Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants 
parties to the proceeding. Any persons wishing to become a party must 
file a motion to intervene. Copies of this Petition are on file with 
the Commission and are available for public inspection.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
